(Winner of an IACP Award and nominated for a James Beard Award) In this follow-up to her IACP Award–winning, James Beard Award–nominated Baking by Flavor, Lisa Yockelson reveals that, for her, chocolate has long been an obsession, a craving, even a calling. Her big, unabashedly pretty cookbook blends how-to information and more than 200 recipes with a sublime collection of chocolate essays and reminiscences. The book's unique "baking diary" format arranges chapters by theme, reflecting Yockelson's fresh and personal approach to baking. From comforting brownie style favorites to dashing double chocolate and mudslide confections, temptation beckons from every page, seen in full-page color photos so close you can almost taste the choco-love.
